For anyone who's not heard of it, it's a clone system that supports playing Mega Drive, NES, SNES,Game Boy,Game Boy Advance, Famicom and Super Famicom cartridges. It also supports Master Sytem games via a Power Base converter.

It supports hdmi and outputs in 720p so makes the games look way nicer than playing on a HDTV using the original hardware.

From what I've played so far it's a great little console. The included wireless controller is a bit rubbish but it supports the original consoles controllers so have been using Mega Drive 6 button pads. As an added bonus you can use any controller to play any systems games.

I've got a bunch of Mega Drive games already and all work and look great on it but am wondering what games from the other systems people would recommend looking for. I was always more of a Sega gamer back in the day so missed out on much of the Nintendo stuff barring Game Boy and GBA..

I got an e-mail about this from Gameseek. So you can plug your actual cartridges into this (I.e. not downloaded ROMS) and use your original SNES controllers? One thing that concerns me is the talk of 720p output, I' m guessing the games still look terrible.

Can only vouch for Mega Drive titles so far but they look really good.

Been playing on my 42" tv and it looks great. It uses the original cartridges but runs them using emulation. I think when you insert the cartridge it reads the data into memory. You can't use roms on it though unless you install hacked firmware.

You can choose to run games in their original aspect ratio or widescreen and can apply a range of filters to make them look a bit better still. Can also choose to apply scan lines to make it seem like an old crt tv.

It has 2 contoller ports for mega drive controllers,2 for SNES and 2 for NES.

Mine was from www.funstock.Co.uk - if you've got a range of retro games for the supported systems it's a really neat way to play them on newer tvs. Only game I tried that looked bad was Virtua Racing but that's more down to the game itself.

Just to add to this - picked up the original Game Boy version of Tetris off ebay and it looks surprisingly decent on the big screen through this.

Been playing loads of Mega Drive games on it last few days, loving it. Micro Machines 2 and Sonic 2 look great on it with some of the filters enabled. If can get some photos up somewhere I'll post a few.

LOL! It did but it's moved again now. We have a little table it normally sits on to the left but had to move it to make room for the xmas tree. Trees down now so phones back where it belongs out of the way.

I am interested in this, but too pricey for the use I will get out of it. I think I'd find it impossible going back to SNES level graphics, as I found out when I tried to play the SNES version of F-Zero on the Wii U.

Just put emulators on your wii u, same result and better imac quality to boot. And free
